pymel.core.modeling.attachCurve

attachCurve(*args, **kwargs)

This attach command is used to attach curves. Once the curves are attached, there will be multiple knots at the joined point(s). These can be kept or removed if the user wishes. If there are two curves, the end of the first curve is attached to the start of the second curve. If there are more than two curves, closest endpoints are joined. Note: if the command is done with Keep Original off, the first curve is replaced by the attached curve. All other curves will remain, the command does not delete them.

Flags:
Long name (short name) Argument Types Properties
blendBias (bb) float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Skew the result toward the first or the second curve depending on the blend factory being smaller or larger than 0.5.Default:0.5
blendKnotInsertion (bki) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 

If set to true, insert a knot in one of the original curves (relative position given by the parameter attribute below) in order to produce a slightly different effect.Default:false

caching (cch) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for more information.Note:For advanced users only.
constructionHistory (ch) bool ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Turn the construction history on or off
keepMultipleKnots (kmk) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
If true, keep multiple knots at the join parameter. Otherwise remove them.Default:true
method (m) int ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Attach method (connect-0, blend-1)Default:0
name (n) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Name the resulting object
nodeState (nds) int ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Modifies the node state. See the node documentation for more information.Note:For advanced users only.Common flags
object (o) bool ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Create the result, or just the dependency node
parameter (p) float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
The parameter value for the positioning of the newly inserted knot.Default:0.1Advanced flags
replaceOriginal (rpo) bool ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Create “in place” (i.e., replace)Flag can appear in Create mode of commandFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
reverse1 (rv1) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 

If true, reverse the first input curve before doing attach. Otherwise, do nothing to the first input curve before attaching. NOTE: setting this attribute to random values will cause unpredictable results and is not supported.Default:false

reverse2 (rv2) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 

If true, reverse the second input curve before doing attach. Otherwise, do nothing to the second input curve before attaching. NOTE: setting this attribute to random values will cause unpredictable results and is not supported.Default:false

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.attachCurve

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

import maya.cmds as cmds

# Attach the curves and remove the multiple knots:
pm.attachCurve( 'curve1', 'curve2', kmk=False )
